How to Use the Ninox MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we set up the Ninox tools for our team in VS Code Copilot?

A team lead should create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the Ninox MCP server configuration there and commit it to git. Every team member who pulls that change will have the tools enabled in Copilot.

Q: Can we run advanced queries against Ninox using VS Code Copilot?

Yes, the executeninoxscript tool lets your Copilot agent run any valid Ninox script. This is the best way to handle complex lookups, calculations, or batch updates from within your editor.

Give your whole team access to Ninox. Configure this MCP Server once in VS Code and everyone gets the same tools.

One Config for the Whole Team

Add this server's configuration to the `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project's repository. Once you commit and push, every developer on the team automatically gets access to the Ninox tools in their VS Code Copilot. No more individual setups or mismatched credentials. This standardizes how your team interacts with your Ninox databases. Everyone uses the same `list_records` filters and the same `create_records` format. It cuts down on 'works on my machine' problems.

Enterprise-Ready Ninox Tools for VS Code

This isn't just about reading data. Your team can use Copilot to `create_records` for testing, `update_record` to fix data issues, or `delete_record` to clean up staging environments. It's full database management, right inside the editor everyone already uses. The `execute_ninox_script` tool is especially useful for teams. You can define complex business logic as a script and have anyone on the team run it with Copilot. This makes sophisticated operations accessible without writing custom integration code.

A Shared View of Your Data

With the `get_database_schema` tool, anyone on the team can ask Copilot for the structure of a Ninox table. This is perfect for onboarding new developers or when you're working on an unfamiliar part of the system. Copilot uses this schema awareness to write better code. When you ask it to generate something that uses Ninox data, it already knows the field names and types, so you get more accurate results the first time. This is a huge productivity boost for any team building on Ninox.

Setup guide

Set up Ninox MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Ninox MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Ninox tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Ninox transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

Yes. The connection is managed through the Vinkius MCP Server, which is built on a zero-trust architecture. Access is controlled by the config file, and you can manage permissions through your source control system.

It brings the data to them. Instead of developers context-switching to the Ninox UI, they can use VS Code Copilot to `list_records` or `get_database_schema` directly in their editor. This keeps them focused and moving faster.

The server processes your Ninox record data transactionally. Each tool call, like `get_record`, happens in a dedicated, single-use sandbox that is destroyed immediately after. Your data is never stored, and your authentication keys are managed securely by Vinkius.
